The xDrive variants of the X1 got hydraulic power steering for packaging reasons. Unless they've developed a smaller electric rack it will continue as hydraulic. There has also been no news on a change, which also points to the same as 2013.

Trying to order a x28i with M Sport and they won't let me order the red seats. I got an email forwarded from the dealer's Central Region Distribution Analyst that you can only get the red (LUTZ) with the Sport Line (ZSL) as of May 1 production. Anyone on here that can confirm this?

Got a call from my dealer today informing that they cannot process my order. I think this is total BS as I placed my order back in March, not my fault they did not produce it yet. He is going to give HO a call and see if he can get to the bottom of this. I would cancel my order and look for a 2013 with Red but we are doing ED and already have everything booked.

I want to order the X1 sDrive 28i with the Nevada Terra leather seats (LUTW). When I order these seats, it changes the wheel to Style 322 (18"), which I do not want.

Without these leather seats, the X1 comes with Style 317 (17") wheels, which is what I want and is standard.

Can I order the Style 317 wheels with the Nevada Terra leather seats, or vice versa?

Why do the seats determine the wheel style and size?

Nevada Terra is available ONLY in the xLine model; when you choose it it adds xLine. The 322 wheels are exclusive to the xLine model, and are included in the package. You might be able to get the others in the Accessory tab at the end of the build.

Are heated front seats an additional charge on the X1 M Sport? I know I can't get the cold weather package because I can't get the heated steering wheel with the M Sport steering wheel. bmwconfig.com shows the heated seats stand alone options costing $0. Maybe an error?

That config site sometimes gives you false results. I noticed that if you choose a particular trim level or package on the config site, and then remove that package, some of the options that are only available with the package will still be shown as $0 options If you want to be sure an option is available with a certain package on that config site, build your car from scratch and do not delete or change anything. If you need to change anything, refresh the browser window and start over or you'll get misleading results.
